2014 Next-gen MINI confirmed for November 18 debut

by SpeedLux

MINI has announced that the all-new MINI will be officially revealed on November 18 at the company’s factory in Oxford in UK.

This date has been chosen in order to give homage to Sir Alexander Arnold Constantine Issigonis who was born on November 18, 1906 and was the creator of the original MINI. Within the same week the car will be almost simultaneously showcased at Tokyo Motor Show and Los Angeles Auto Show, before going on sale in the first quarter of 2014.

The 2014 MINI will be longer and wider than the outgoing model and is expected to take some design cues from the Rocketman Concept. In terms of changes as compared to its predecessor, the new model would include a longer hood, slimmer A-pillars and a smaller front grille.

In terms of interiors, it will have a more traditional interior layout with the speedometer will be on the driver’s side. The central area of the dashboard will feature a big touchscreen display, while several chrome touches for the door handles, speakers and steering wheel will spice up the cabin.

The Cooper S version is supposedly going to feature a new turbo 1.6-liter gasoline engine rated at 178 hp (132 kW), followed by the JCW model with the same engine but tweaked to output of around 217 hp (162 kW).
